Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too.
 * A notable topic preferably has 3-5 sources, independent of the subject (think back to the conflict of interest slide!), and with a reputation for fact checking and/or peer review. The mention has to be more than just a sentence. A chapter or an entire book is probably enough.
 * significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
 * Good articles to improve in class are:
 * Rated low-quality but high-importance by a WikiProject.
 * Not controversial.
 * Topics where you can establish notability with two or more independent, fact-checked and/or peer-reviewed sources.

Option 1

 * Article title: Mary Wynne Warner :
 * Article Evaluation: relevant content, neutral writing, all claims appropriately cited, article refers to a woman mathematician so does aid equity gap, page has received only minor cosmetic editing in recent years, it is notable (4 references), can check jstor etc for more, missing picture. :
 * Sources: lots of things omitted from st andrews mactutor, https://biography.wales/article/s12-WARN-WYN-1932, JAMES, I., & PEARS, A. (2002). MARY WYNNE WARNER (1932–1998). Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 34 (6), 745-752. doi:10.1112/S0024609302001467 - specific details of schooling, location of research, impact on field

Option 2

 * Article title: Stanislaw Zaremba :
 * Article Evaluation: content is relevant but his actual research could be greatly expanded upon, okay neutrality as the only opinion given on his work is very flattering, citations are not too good, sources are good, not contributing to closing gap unless there is a gap for E Europeans perhaps (poland initiatives), notable as 4 sources, references are not numbered, last updated 2015 :
 * Sources: correcting omissions from mentioned sources, linking claims to these properly and looking for new information on google scholar etc. :

Option 3

 * Article title: John M. Ball :
 * Article Evaluation: relevant but discombobulated content - referencing could be improved. institutions and awards need to be expanded, sorted. introductory sentence needs to be clarified. need sections for early life, research, awards, impact, personal life etc. neutral. each claim does not have a citation. sources are many and reliable. no significant edits recently. doesn't feature an underrepresented demographic. :
 * Sources: correcting omissions from mentioned sources, linking claims to these properly and looking for new information on google scholar etc. https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/EMS/EMS_125/

Option 4

 * Article title: Stefan Muller :
 * Article Evaluation: missing early life, education (phd etc), research section, photo not dated or located,  the work associated with each award is not given, claims are not references/sourced well at all, neutral but does not describe the impact of his work, citations look ok but there are more out there which are valid/notable, not relevant to equity gap, needs a side box for concise info :
 * Sources: https://www.mathgenealogy.org/id.php?id=64467, https://www.hcm.uni-bonn.de/people/profile/stefan-mueller/, :

Option 5

 * Article title: Hajer Bahouri :
 * Article Evaluation: No photo, small info box, no differentiated sections for early education and career, certain unis omitted, claims are not always referenced properly, enough sources to be notable, ethnic minority woman so yes to gap, existing citations are good, need more blue links to unis and things, neutral. :
